KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 July 2024 – With its well-rounded functionality, OctaTrader aims to cover the entire traders’ experience across four fundamental areas: payments, education, trading, and decision-making. This all-in-one architecture allows the application to form a trading ecosystem designed for clients of various experience levels, trading styles, and asset preferences. As such, the platform continuously evolves, receiving updates with new enhancements and features at least twice a month.

In the third quarter of 2024, the OctaTrader team will deploy Space, the analytics hub embedded into the application, for all regions and Octa clients. Bringing together analytics, education, and decision-making support within a single toolkit, Space will be an integral part of the OctaTrader’s interface. Space takes data-driven, confident, and innovative decision-making to a new level, enabling traders to copy ideas and predictions from the curated news feed to the client’s trading chart in a few clicks.

As a modern trading toolkit, Space uses machine learning algorithms to process historical data and offer analytical predictions. It provides detailed educational materials for those willing to dive deep into the intricacies of technical analysis and learn more about fundamental trading concepts and the workings of financial markets. After that, Octa’s team of highly experienced expert traders thoroughly checks and reinforces the predictions. This combination of modern technology and human expertise facilitates decision validation. It allows less experienced traders to navigate financial markets more efficiently, spending less mental and nervous energy on the way.

The upcoming OctaTrader updates include adding analytical tools to the trading chart panel. This feature will allow traders not to draw patterns by hand and save their time by using presets from the feed instead and adding them to the chart layout. OctaTrader clients can place orders using ideas listed in the Space feed—or add the ideas that caught their eye to the chart for future analysis. Depending on the prediction featured in the selected Space post, the chart will display an arrow indicating the predicted price movement, visualising the idea and further streamlining the trading journey.

With its focus on continuous development and iterative research of the most popular traders’ demands, OctaTrader evolves according to the best industry practices. The ever-expanding list of useful features and tools allows traders to efficiently validate their decisions and spend less time on research and analysis while receiving quality expert insights tailored to their needs and preferences.

To further enhance traders’ opportunities, Octa has recently introduced the new leverage option of 1:1000, which is currently available to all clients. With this new option, the broker allows you to open larger positions with a smaller capital investment.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 July 2024 – The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) has launched its pioneering “Do Good” initiative, which signifies ISCA’s commitment to foster a culture of social responsibility and enhance corporate governance within Trade Associations and Chambers (TACs) and charity boards.

Announced in February this year, the Board of Directors (BOD) Masterclass Programme is an all-encompassing board training programme prescribed by the Singapore Exchange Regulation for first-time directors and existing directors to stay updated on complex corporate and business developments to discharge their responsibilities effectively. ISCA and SAC Capital will subsidise 50% of the BOD Masterclass programme for TACs and charity boards to enhance their corporate governance. This will benefit more than 2,000 registered charities (around 20,000 individuals) and more than 300 TACs in Singapore (around 3,000 individuals). The 50% subsidy will amount to potential cost savings of $6,540 per organisation, and up to $15 million in total for both sectors.

ISCA Distinguished Lifetime Member and former President of the Institute Dr Gerard Ee, who is a social service advocate with extensive experience in helming charity boards including the Charity Council and Beyond Social Services and serves as one of the mentors of the BOD Masterclass programme, shared his thoughts on the initiative. Dr Ee said: “I hope that this initiative will encourage more directors of non-governmental organisations across the sector. This will ultimately benefit the communities they serve.”

The “Do Good” board package represents ISCA’s unwavering dedication to promoting ethical leadership, transparency, and accountability within Singapore’s non-profit sector. By equipping TACs and Charity Boards with the necessary knowledge and expertise to enhance corporate governance standards, ISCA aims to foster a culture of responsible stewardship and sustainable growth, ultimately benefiting the communities they serve. This will also help TACs and Charity Boards to avoid potential pitfalls in corporate governance, such as conflicts of interest, inadequate financial management, and weak internal controls.

ISCA President, Mr Teo Ser Luck, said: “We are pleased to introduce our ‘Do Good’ initiative, which reinforces our commitment to enhance corporate governance standards among TACs and charities. We hope that our subsidies on the BOD Masterclass Programme will go a long way in empowering more boards with essential skills to not only thrive, but to also serve their communities responsibly.”

Commissioner of Charities, Mr Desmond Chin, said: “ISCA’s ‘Do Good’ initiative will help to uplift governance standards within Singapore’s charities sector. This initiative will help charities to access essential Board training and mentorship opportunities, which will in turn enhance their capacity to serve the community better.”

President of the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (ASME), Mr Ang Yuit, said: “We are heartened by ISCA’s support for our TACs to enhance the corporate governance competencies and professionalism of industry veterans, professionals and volunteers who have stepped forward to serve on councils. ISCA’s BOD Masterclass Programme for ASME Executive Council members will strengthen the effectiveness of our governance practices.”
